sureiDespite initial impressions of a sucky range of choices (and that impression remains) it seems I'll be doing okay with scheduling next semester. That is, that's what my initial schedule thinks. If things stay the way they are right now, I won't be doing anything with Japanese History (HIST100T I miss youuuuuuuuuuuuu...) so that's a sort of a break from the major, which I don't really mind. It looks like I don't get much of a choice but to do MODERN Japanese History, which is a fact I despise (again I long for HIST100T) but I guess, since Perry-san is technically modern, I'll get by alright. Would have liked to do the development of Japanese Buddhism and Shinto in relation to each other, and to their historical contexts, or along those lines, but it doesn't seem like that will be happening. *sniff* Oh well. I'll still do two and a half classes on Japan (woot) and another two and three quarters on what I want to do. No GE requirements, since I'm still trying my best to avoid labs, and maybe I'll manage to squeeze in an independant study on PreModern Japanese history with the guy who used to teach HIST100T but dropped it despite that time period being (supposedly) his area of focus. Damn you! Or maybe with the other guy who tends towards literature, and that could be pre-medieval Japan. Or even just pre-modern. Say, hey! I want a bunch of readings of Japanese mythology and religion, as long as it's before the 1850s, please? As an independant study, please? Maybe he could teach me the "right" way to interpret poetry while he's at it.
Anyway, the class I really REALLY want is a CMC course on the History of European Aristocracy. This would SO be my major if I could somehow turn it into ten classes that I've already taken most of. Or at least, ettiquette would. It's so fascinating, in great part because most everybody just ignores it. But there's just this one class, and although it doesn't have any (apparent) requirements, there's only 12 slots. I'm hoping there won't be many seniors interested, and that I'm near the start of the class. Or at least, that not many people before me want it, cause I do. That said, I hope enough people are interested that it doesn't get cancelled, like other classes.
And if it isn't available, then that just means a Japanese History class, whee.
Okay, I'll shut up now.
